Chapter 162 Weird Pines and Cypresses
Looking at Rong Zipeng who lost his trace in an instant, the others were speechless, especially Nalan Wan. She just told the truth, why did he run away?
Ye Shurui seemed to be smiling, with a little aggrieved on his face, but he felt a little joy in his heart. Is Wanwan a jealous of him?
If Nalan Wan knew about Ye Shurui's psychological activities, she would definitely roll her eyes and tell him that she was thinking too much.
After rubbing his nose, Ye Shurui remembered that he had not told everyone about visiting the palace at night, so he arranged the directions of the inquiry and waited for the night to come.
After lunch, several people wanted to stay in the house to accumulate energy, but they felt that it was inappropriate.
They came to find the murderer, but now they have cut the clues and stayed in Mosey because they are playing for a while. It would be strange if they only stay in the house and don’t leave the house, and they don’t cause other people’s suspicion. So after discussing, a few people went shopping with a group of people.
At sunset, everyone returns, rests and waits late at night.
"You said, will they stay there tonight?" Nalan Wan hid her body in the darkness where the moonlight was not as bright as the moonlight, and asked Ye Shurui in a low voice.
"It's not necessary to stay there, but it's very likely to strengthen patrols." Ye Shurui speculated.
Last night, Mixi stayed there for the middle of the night, and he didn't wait for anyone to wait for him tonight. With his stalwart, he was almost impossible to squat there and wait for them to hit him.
Nalan nodded late and had no affection for Mixi. She was a wolf's ambition, but she turned her eyes to the woman, hooked up with Queen Moxi, and thought about Princess Moxi... Such a person is not afraid of.
The two of them had both ears and were sure that there was no one everywhere, and they fell lightly into an elegant and gloomy and deserted garden.
It is said to be elegant because the garden is exquisitely laid out and the planted is full of slow-growing pine and cypress, which is gloomy and ancient and heavy. As for the gloomy and desolate... it is because no one takes care of this place for many years, the branches of pine and cypress are chaotic and tangled together, and the thick and tall branches of the tree trunk are complex, covering the sky. There is no sunshine all year round, and only the yin energy is felt.
Falling into the pine and cypress garden, the two of them hide their whereabouts with the help of thick tree trunks. The tranquility was pitch black, as if they were isolated from the gloomy ghosts.
The two of them stepped on the road full of rotten leaves, which was wet and soft, and there was a wet atmosphere between their noses. Such an atmosphere was really unpleasant. I really didn't expect that there was such a place to go in such a central location in Moxi Palace.
Ye Shurui walked in front of Nalan Wan to explore the way, with his eyes in his eyes, and visited from all directions. Suddenly, a soft little hand that was as soft as boneless tightly held his gentle palm.
He paused slightly, and his head turned and showed a careful look, "What's wrong?"
Nalan got closer to him in the evening, speaking in a low voice, "I can't tell why, I just feel a little embarrassed."
Such a situation is extremely rare for her.
Ye Shurui grabbed her with a big hand, held her directly in her arms, kissed her forehead comfortably, and said softly: "Don't be afraid."
He knew that Nalan Wan was not a shy and artificial woman. Since she was afraid, there must be something that made her uneasy. Therefore, he protected her and observed the situation around him more carefully.
Soon, the two of them walked around the Songchuan Garden, and they found nothing except gloomy and terrifying.
"Have you noticed it?" Ye Shurui frowned.
Nalan Wan shook her head and frowned. There must be something strange about this garden, otherwise why would it be a forbidden place?
"It's a little strange. Since it's a forbidden area, why are there no guards stationed?" Nalan Wan whispered his doubts.
This is exactly what Ye Shurui thought about but couldn't understand.
"Wanwan, do you think it's... what mechanisms are there?" Ye Shurui stopped and focused on every place he had just walked.
Nalan nodded in agreement, "It is very likely. Since it is a forbidden area, there must be secrets. No one is stationed at it, which means that the secret is not on the surface. But here are all messy pine and cypress, and we have not touched any hidden weapons after we have traveled."
"Then, it is very likely that there is something hidden here that we don't know. It may be a secret passage, a secret room, or a treasure hidden..." Ye Shurui pondered, and several possible chances flashed by.
His speculation was extremely reasonable. No one strictly guarded the forbidden area, which shows that the Moxi royal family is very relieved about this place and is not afraid of someone breaking through by mistake. Last night, Mixi's warning deliberately said that this place was a forbidden area, but was just to guide Ye Shurui to come over and catch him directly.
"Let's look for it carefully." Nalan Wan didn't give up, it was still early anyway.
"Okay." Ye Shurui naturally agreed, "If it is a secret passage or a secret room, there must be a corresponding switch. We just need to find the switch."
Nalan nodded and looked at the outfits of the two of them. "Fortunately, I'm wearing a night-wearing dress tonight, so I'd better put on the face towel. If I find the switch..."
Ye Shurui knew it. If they found the switch, they would turn it on rashly, and the unknown number would be too big. If it was as they guessed, it was a secret passage or a secret room, wouldn’t it be a straight meeting if there were someone inside!
The two of them covered their scarves and were more careful.
When he reached the third time, Ye Shurui finally discovered a little difference.
The pine and cypress trees here seem to be chaotic and intertwined, but there seems to be a very thin and long branch on the canopy of each pine and cypress, pointing in the same direction. It is just that because the pine and cypress trees have too many branches and intertwined with each other, and the two of them had previously focused more on the ground and the trunk, so this small strangeness has never been discovered.
Ye Shurui took Nalan Wan in the direction pointed by the branches. He walked with a road, but jumped into the air without a road, without changing the direction. In this way, when he walked about two hundred meters away, the two were blocked by a pine and cypress.
The two men who were about to leap into the sky suddenly stopped at the same time and smiled at each other. The two pairs of bright eyes showed curved smiles. The pine and cypress trees in front of them seemed to be normal, but the two of them had excellent eyesight at the same time they could see that they were darker and smoother than other pine and cypress trees.
This is a fake tree! But it is too realistic. It is mixed in the intricate pine and cypress forest, and it is not easy to tell even during the day, let alone at night?
The two soon discovered an abnormality on this fake pine and cypress tree and determined the switch. Ye Shurui pulled Nalan Wan behind him and pressed the bulge at the height of the trunk.
In an instant, the smooth tree trunk creaked out a low door that only allowed one person to pass through. The two looked at each other, waited for a moment, and entered one after another.
The space in the belly of the fake tree is very narrow, and the rotten and damp breath is heavier, making it almost impossible to breathe. Fortunately, both of them have strong adaptability, adjust their skills, switch from external breathing to internal breathing, and walk carefully towards the stairs extending underground.

I delayed it for a while. The two chapters were a bit long, but my brain cells died a lot, and it was a bit Kaven~
